| Abstract |
| This study we investigated the traditional use and the chemical composition of Sisymbrium irio (“Corcase” in Arabic) essential oil collected from M’sila, Eastern Algeria. S. irio is one of about 90 species of the genus belonging to family ‘’ Brassicaceae ’’, indigenous species of southern Europe, North Africa and temperate Asia. Plant used for the treatment of different types of diseases such example a treatment of rheumatoid, irritation, decrease inflammation and injuries. The chemical composition of essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of the fresh leaves of S. irio has been investigated by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The oil contained 12 components, representing 100% of the total oil. The major constituents are isopropyl isothiocyanate (68.19%), butane, 2-isothiocyanato- (14.53%) and phytol (5.07%). In conclusion, this study needs phytochemical and biological research on this plant as a source of the presence of novel bioactive chemical constituents and discovering other therapeutic uses. |
